Dont get me wrong Jim
i'm not a fan of Griffin and I've spilt blood in the late 70s and early 80's standing up to NF bullies. I'm not the gatherer who had nazi imagary on his facebook site.

Question Time does not in any other instance invite a MEP on to attack them. It has contentious guests who have given their views on the weeks current events and have had to deal with anything that gets thrown in their face. MP's expences was an example, but they didnt select the other guests to directly challenge them. There was a significant change in the QT format having invited Griffin on, who rightly or wrongly is an elected MP.

We had a good laugh at Griffins expence but what did it really do? It didnt deal with any of the issues that people in Bradford, Burnley etc have been voicing behind their reasons for voting BNP, so all it really did was pander to an audience that wouldn't give him the time of day anyway.

We laugh and ridicule Griffen and Peter Mandelson wears the cloak of acceptabilty. Id be more scared of Mandelson and the Bilderberg group than good ol' Nick

Well, if the Tory prospective education policy or Tony Blair's Afghanistan policy are current issues, then so are the BNP's. I think both BNP supporters and opponents would consider BNP policies and beliefs to be an essential topic for discussion, especially since they're trying to become the government of this country.

What makes you say they stepped outside their remit?

What is Question Time?
Its a programme that debates with MPs, MEP and special guests on current issues.
I think they stepped outside the remit last night, even though I have no issue with channeling extremists of whatever persuasion.

Well, Griffin got what he wanted- a chance to go on television and speak to the country, but he failed miserably to get his views across, not least because the majority of them can be easily demolished after 30 seconds of moderately careful thought. He really should stick to addressing his own rallies- they're much less demanding and the lack of debate nicely covers up the fact that he hasn't put a great deal of thought into his views. I'm amused by the offended supporters claiming he was victimized. Right, so he only wants to face the public as long as they don't ask questions about his views. He must have thought he was going on Question Time to discuss the weather. Genius.
